    Can you try using slice

    let text = "aa hello world!";
if (text.startsWith('aa') || text.startsWith('ab')) {
 text = text.slice(3);
}

    Result:

    hello world

    Here is an example just adding an IF statement to see if the string starts with aa or ab:

     var check = 'aa hello world';

 if (check.startsWith('aa') || check.startsWith('ab')) {
   check = check.substring(3);
 }

    You can even keep your code:

    var check = 'aa hello world';

if (check.startsWith('aa') || check.startsWith('ab')) {
  check = check.replace(/^(.){2}/,'').trim()
}

console.log(check)

    Answer:

     "hello world"
